-Start recording-
*hisss...* ( radio static sound)
-Start flashback presentation-
A young man walked out of a certain apartment building. People often look in his direction not because he is handsome but because he is weird and awkward.
He is wearing a yellow t-shirt, red shorts, and blue crocs which completed the Christmas color scheme.
His back slouches lazily completely drained out from a long night of reading plus his smiley face made people think he is crazy, weirdo, and a pervert!
-Pause flashback-
"Yeah, that's me in my previous life"
*Sigh*
"Can we move on to the next scene? It's kinda embarrassing knowing that people see me in that clothes." he scratched the back of his head embarrassingly as he smile wryly.
"You look like a pervert," an unknown person said. "and that was also what you were wearing 'till the end, idiot"
"Okay?!...how dare you insult me! I was your *a long beep*"
"Did you... just... beep zone... me?" he asked slowly. "Earlier, you just said a spoiler and you didn't beep at yourself! Why don't we switc..."
As he continue complaining, the unknown person resumed the flashback.
-start flashback-
"Hey! don't just start the flashback I'm still not done with you!"
Seeing that the unknown person didn't pause the flashback.
'Just wait for me. I will let you know my fist later!' he promised to himself.
*beep*
He glared at the unknown person but the unknown person keeps pressing the beep button as If he was rushing him to finish this nonsense.
*beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep*
He heaves a long breath as he tries to calm himself down. He has done this to not get pissed off again by the unknown person but the unknown person still keeps beeping at him!
He glared at the unknown person only to see his finger point to his watch over his head.
'You will not only meet my fist you will also meet my feet! Just you wait!' he thought.
He adjusted his attire as he also adjusted his composure.
*cough*
"Hello everyone! I am Joseph Mercado, an Earthener, a human, a male, a nobody, an introvert, a genius, and of course a Hidden boss!"
"Many protagonists pursue the top of the ladder because they want to be strong! to gain popularity! to be in the limelight! to be loved! and many more reasons but for me?
*he laughed maniacally*
The hidden boss can do all of that but much cooler!" he said while holding half of his face and chuckling but the unknown person interrupted him again.
*beep!*
"You're a genius?" the unknown person quickly followed his act with a compliment to not annoy him furthermore and to end this flashback sooner.
'He really looks like an idiot... and a pervert' he thought.
"Yes, I'm a genius myself like many other protagonists!... although I did not use it properly as I was busy with my thing, anyway who said I want to be protagonist when hidden bosses are much cooler!" he said triumphantly.
'But no one said anything about you being the protagonist' unknown person chooses to keep it himself and instead asks him a question to divert his mind before he even begins his nonsense... again.
"I've been thinking for a while, why is your back like that?" he has more questions regarding the flashback like his clothes but dared not question it as it will trigger him.
"Hmm, you are asking why I have hunchback? En, that's because I like to seat in a weird position while reading and watching anime. You know, lack of sleep, so it's easy for me to fall asleep when laying. And why are asking that aren't we *beeeeeeeep*"
"Okay, okay...jeez, let's quickly wrap this up so I can smash that censor sound button!... Anyway, let me tell you why I said 'my previous life"
As he was saying those, past Joseph walked to 7-Eleven 3 blocks away from his apartment to buy snacks for his anime grinding later, he is currently calculating how is he going to watch 4 seasons of anime in one day.
'The average time of anime is 23 minutes. Assuming that there are 23 minutes per episode of the anime I'm watching and 24 episodes in 1 season. Calculate the time you need to watch 4 season anime in minutes...'
'I estimate... it's gonna take me more than a day... Argh! what should I do!? Shall I skip unimportant details? but how do I know if it is unimportant? Shall I skip the opening and ending theme song? but I'd like to appreciate the song! or should I just watch all night 'till the day tomorrow? yeah, I should do that. All right! Let's go!' It was his day off, so he has time before his work even starts in the morning but it will sacrifice his sleep.
As he was in deep thought and not wary of his surroundings, a truck with broken brakes was slowly droving his way down a sloped area and currently going in Joseph's direction. As it was currently midnight, not many people are outside. But those few people have managed to run as they noticed the truck caused by the loud sound produced by the rocks behind it.
Joseph who had just arrived at his destination was woken up from his deep thought as he heard a loud sound on his left side. He looked at his left side but what he saw was a truck... and was heading his way.
He was so shocked that he didn't even move from his place. He wanted to run but he can't. As if there's something heavy weighing him down at the granite he's standing on.
His mind and body work completely unevenly. He was calm inside but shocked outside. His mind wanted him to move but his body can't respond to what the mind wanted.
'Is this what they called being passive? (1) Am I gonna die?' he thought.
The truck, however, tilted slightly to the left caused by humps on its way.
*Crash*
Joseph seeing that he did not die, sighed a relief. 'I just used all my luck to avoid that!'
He looked over where the truck crashed but once again his body stand stiffly as he saw that crushed organs splattered all over the 7 eleven store.
Not knowing that above his head is the signboard of 7-Eleven that was creaking that any second will fall on him. Joseph quickly adjusted himself as he know that calling for help first is the priority but his hand keeps on shaking as he search for his phone.
'Eh, I don't have my phone.'
It was at this moment the creaking board above his head falls.
*Splat*
Joseph just laid down there unmoving. Although he wanted to move... but as he currently does not have such strength and moving was not a wise move as it will risk his life, a shelf filled with sweets on it falls.
*thud*
A Ferrero rocher flew its way to him but he didn't know as his hearing was also affected by the tragedy. But he did feel the air disturbance and vibration through the ground.
He stared like a wolf wanting to eat the snack in from of his eyes. But those required body movements! It will cause even more blood loss.
He noticed that his vision was slowly turning blurry. Nathan knew that his time was about to come, and didn't hesitate to grab a piece of Ferrero Rocher while also enduring the pain caused by his sudden movement.
"Urg..."
He spat a mouthful of blood but he just smiled as he bite at the chocolate without even peeling it.
It was sweet, crunchy, and nutty. It was absolutely delicious! He almost cried as he eat it.
But before he even finish eating, his body had suddenly given up. He was about to die as he observed his surroundings starting to be enveloped by darkness.
He closed his eyes peacefully waiting for his death. He wanted his death to be peaceful as possible. What he did was grit his teeth as he endure the pain without showing it on his face.
'I hope after-death is not boring' was his last thought before he died. Joseph, who does not know he is going to die now or maybe know, died due to hemorrhage or also known as blood loss or bleeding.
Because of the loud sound caused by the crash, people can't help but be curious about what is happening outside.
The people inside each home saw the gruesome incident that happened outside and could not help but scream, vomit, and cry, but some wiser people immediately look for help.
-End flashback-
"And that was my version of Final Destination. *Sigh*, I still regret I didn't get to watch even the first episode of the anime"
"But what can I do? Past is past. And I do found a new hobby. *hehe*"
"Anyway, that was my end..so is my beginning" he smiled mysteriously.
-End recording-
====================================
1.) For example, you saw a bike coming towards you. Normally, people just dodge or run while being passive is standing still and waiting for the bike to hit or stop. (I actually didn't know what term to use but it makes sense, right?)
